There are many restrictions for drivers under 18. There are no other age based restrictions that I know of in CA, specifically pertaining to elderly drivers.

I don’t believe AARP has proven anything other than their willingness to sacrifice a few lives here and there, so that their members feel independent.

Marty, for our benefit, would you please point your finger at the group responsible for making sure careless, immature, inconsiderate teenage idiots have the “right to drive”? Because they are a seriously misguided lobby.

At least the fossils whose right to drive the AARP fights to ensure*,
have proven that they can.

* Double-entendre and pun intended.

Thanks AARP, et al for making sure this fossil had the “right to drive”.

“Right now 32 states have no additional requirements for seniors renewing their licenses, even though drivers 75 and older have higher rates of fatal accidents than any other group except teenagers.”
